Donald Shebib's Goin' Down the Road

$16.95

By Geoff Pevere
137 pages

Since its release in July 1970, Donald Shebib’s low-budget road movie about displaced Maritimers in Toronto has become one of the most celebrated Canadian movies ever made. In this study of Goin’ Down the Road, renowned film critic Geoff Pevere provides an engaging account of how a film produced under largely improvised circumstances became the most influential Canadian movie of its day as well as an enduring cultural touchstone.

Featuring extensive interviews with the film’s key participants, Pevere provides behind-the-scenes history and explores how the movie’s meaning and interpretation have changed over time. He gives special attention to the question of why the film’s creative mix of documentary techniques, road movie tropes, and social commentary have proven so popular and influential in Canadian filmmaking for decades.

Geoff Pevere has been writing, broadcasting, and teaching about film and media for more than thirty years. He is the former movie critic for the Toronto Star, co-author of the national best-seller Mondo Canuck, and host of CBC Radio''s groundbreaking culture program Prime Time.
